tonal language
A tonal language is a language in which the pitch or tone used to pronounce a word is as important as the pronunciation itself because it can change the meaning of the word. Each syllable within the language has a specific tone, and altering the tone can alter the intended meaning. Examples of tonal languages include Mandarin Chinese, Thai, and Yoruba.
